Renee’s P.O.VI had no self-respect. The rain poured down in torrents, drenching everything around me alongside my shame, lack of dignity, and again, self-respect.The tears that brimmed in my eyes streamed down my cheeks, mingling with the rain as my dampened hair clung to my face. Despite the tears that blurred my vision, I stared at the cash in my hands— The same cash that Alpha Raymond had hurled at me disrespectfully while dishing out threats to me. I had clung onto the money like my life depended on it as I was being dragged out of the hospital. I should have hurled it back at him, stood my ground until he let me meet with the triplets.However, as if they all knew the exact place to hit me the most, he had threatened to deal with Erin as well if I didn't leave the Alpha Devils alone. Unlike the Rogue King who threatened to go after Erin alone, he had promised to wipe out her entire family from the surface of the earth. She didn't have to suffer because of me.I had always wa
Renee’s P.O.VThe tears that welled in my eyes blurred my vision, and the only sound that I could hear was that of my heart thundering in my ears. How could they do this to me?How could they deceive me in this manner? I had always known that the Alpha Devils couldn’t be trusted, but I would have never imagined that they would take advantage of my disability, trap me in a death contract that would last till eternity.“Those demons” My molars ground but just as my anger could consume me completely, pain tugged at my chest, clawing at the corners of my heart. A groan slipped from my mouth, and there was this throbbing at the back of my head. I squeezed my chest, voices filtering down my ears— The triplet’s voices.“Renee,”My eyes closed shut and the knot in my chest tightened. What was happening? Why did it feel like my heart was being clawed out of my chest and…No.Something bad had happened with the triplets. I could feel it down to the depths of my soul. I could feel their souls
Louis’s P.O.V“Shit” I cussed under my breath as the three of us stood back to back, fists curled with our eyes fixed on the rogues that towered over us.Drool dripped from the corners of their mouth, eyes gleaning with that murderous intent as the sound of their low growls interrupted the silence of the night.They were on a mission to kill and if there was anything that I was sure of, they were ready to pounce on us and shred us into two. Levi spoke through the mind-link. “We should have enough time to shift into our wolf forms, right? Because this beast keeps growling ferociously inside of me…”Lennox added. “What are the chances that we would take them down on our own?”I clicked my tongue, speaking out loud. “Twenty percent. How could we have ruled out the probability of Nikolai not coming alone”“This isn't the time for apportioning blame. It is time to act” Lennox responded. “We don't have a lot of time and we need to strike now. Levi takes those on the left, Louis takes down
Lennox’s P.O.VSomething was off.The way Nerissa stood up for Renee was weird. Something was going on between those two and the craziest part was getting the truth from Renee was another job on its own. It was worse than a herculean task.If she had just told the truth along, my brothers and I wouldn't be wasting time tracking down Nikolai, in a bid to uncover the real reason behind his threats to Renee.It was far from wanting her to be a rogue. My gut told me— It was more than that.Levi weaved his hands through his hair and for a weird reason that I couldn't place, he seemed more like he was trying to avoid my gaze. Louis on the other hand was hacking through Renee’s phone, trying to remove her password and check the exact messages that had put her on the edge.At that moment, my mind drifted towards the broken sculptures in the workshop and a groan slipped from my mouth. “I want to kill someone…” I muttered through clenched teeth.Levi kicked a stone. “We ain't getting more blo
Renee’s P.O.VPain sliced through my head like a honed knife and at that moment, I didn't know if the traumatic experiences that happened yesterday were the cause or if it was the eyes that shot lasers through my face.Their curse words that came out in hushed whispers filled my ears.I didn't even dare stare at them, as my eyes remained fixed on the heap of rubble that was scattered across the tiled floor in the workshop.Someone had broken everyone’s sculptures and right now, everyone suspected me. The hell.Who could have done this? I was sure that it was those damned Rogues that had destabilized me yesterday. They were trying to get me into trouble.In all honesty, I didn't blame those wandering eyes that stared at me in disdain. The situation was just plausible for them to believe that I was the one involved in this. Since ruining my work made me disqualified and they came to school the next day to find out that their sculptures had been ruined, it was just sensible to suspect
Levi’s P.O.VFor the first time in my life, I had never seen Renee so broken. So devastated and lost. The image of her trembling frame, her tear-filled eyes, and pale face was still etched in my mind. I had never seen her in that way before.She wasn’t even like that when she realized that her mum wasn’t in the mental asylum like she was told, that she was dead…But this time, she seemed scared, like some monster was out for her. Like darkness was slowly encroaching upon her and I hated it.I had never seen her so traumatized. It felt as if something wasn’t done soon enough, she might lose it.Could it be those damned Rogues that Louis warned her about? The ones that lurked around her like a shadow. Could it be that bastard ‘Nikolai’ who was messing with our mate?How dare he? Lennox tucked Renee into her bed, pulling the duvet over her head and the way his fingers brushed through her face slightly, made my stomach tie a knot. However, I didn’t show it. Now wasn’t the perfect time
